    Mark Tunley specialist multi tip

    Hey Michael, Well it depends. If I'm specifically targeting barbel I will use the SS2600. If I'm roving or touch ledge ring for chub and/or smaller silvers, small maggot feeder etc then the SS1600.

    RDAA River Kennet

    Hi Martin, Depends which part of the kennet you want to fish 😃 RDAA does cover a long stretch of it, from padworth, through theale and burghfield and downstream through rose kiln lane. I fish the Kennet also, it is tough but once you know you know if you catch my drift. There have been some...

    Hello.

    Hi Martin, welcome to the forum. Nice write up mate, appreciate you taking the time to introduce yourself. Indeed most here are of similar values and it is indeed an old school forum in a new world of social media. Hope you enjoy it. Good luck and tight lines.

    Mark Tunley specialist multi tip

    MT doesn't specify a line rating like a traditional quiver would, because this is not a quiver. It is a "specialist" rod with a multi-tip. That means there is a minimum line due to the power of the rod, which is 8lb. However.... with the 30g quiver, I am using 4-6lb line no problem looking for...

    Mark Tunley specialist multi tip

    Hi Martin, I have the 11,5 multi tip it's an incredible rod. I've had barbel to 14,6 on it. The low down power is border line magical. I also own a Torrix 11ft 1.75, 2.00 and I haven't really used them this year. Although my Torrix 11ft 1.75 remains my favourite rod, i just can't go without...

    Your fail safe hookbait?

    Confident is a lobworm. Failsafe is dynamite marine halibut soft boilie... absolutely no idea why, they always work. No matter how many 'fancy' home made or artisan boilies I try, I always go back 😭

    Bar Codes in Angling DIrect

    You can encode malicious code inside a barcode. Old linear codes cannot contain that data but the newer ones can. Each to their own but you wouldn't catch me scanning anything.

    Bar Codes in Angling DIrect

    Out of interest, Why would you scan a barcode in a shop? I look after cyber security and I would advise to never scan anything with a monetary value attached to it. Also be super careful with QR codes, personally I also wouldn't scan one.

    Reels for 8ft stalking rod

    Ss1600 all day long, 2600 a little too heavy for anything under 11ft for me the balance is just off. I also have the Korum 8ft and the 1600 is lovely on it.

    The best mono line I have ever used

    my absolute goto and a mainline I never see mentioned on the forum, which I find strange, is pallatrax gamma. I've used them all, for me personally gamma is a phenomenal mainline, supple, line lay, abrasion, diameter, visibility - ticks all boxes. I've never snapped off above the hooklink. Never.
